Editor’s Note

Bloom. What is it, to bloom? To bloom is to split the shell and find a euphony of blue, to burst out and discover a world of vibrant green. To bloom is to open, to tear down the walls and let the light shine upon the darkest corners of the soul. To bloom is to rise from the night in a blaze of red-purple and touch the sky, to reach clarity fading in the grey of the dusk. 

To bloom is to see and be seen. To bloom is to gift the world and be gifted in turn. To bloom is to die and be born anew. To bloom is to grow, to flourish, to explode into a thousand shades of a thousand colors. 

To bloom is to live.
